What is a Hospitalist?

Many primary care physicians find it increasingly difficult to manage both busy clinical practices while also providing timely inpatient care. To help solve this issue, they have turned to hospitalists to help care for their patients who have been admitted to the hospital.

Hospitalists are internal medicine physicians that specialize in treating patients in a hospital setting. Our team of hospitalist professionals work with many departments within the hospital as well as primary care physicians to ensure patients receive an effective treatment plan and return home as safely and efficiently as possible.

Communication is key.

Your primary care physician will have the ability to remotely access your medical records while you are in the hospital. They’re notified when you are admitted and discharged and often are kept in the loop throughout a hospital stay

What are the benefits of having a hospitalist?
